Ways to Give and Serve
March/April Council Report: 
 
The Church Council is still continuing to meet through Zoom. Here's an update on a few items: 
  • Payroll Protection Plan (PPP) Loan: Thanks to the hard work of Tony and Carol, Faith Lutheran received a PPP loan. 
  • Pastor Charlane's Salary: Due to COVID-19, and the unknowns regarding church giving/spending, the Council decided to discuss and review the options regarding an increase of the Pastor's salary at the end of the second quarter (June 2020). 
  • Reopen: Congregations are allowed to resume services in Phase 3 of the County Reopening Plans. The Council put together a task force (Cassie, Jack, Melia, Julie, Pastor Charlane, and Carol) to create and implement protocols so that we can reopen safely. Due to certain criteria that the County has to meet in each phase, we are unable to have an exact timeframe for when that reopen date will be. Until then, please continue to meet as a congregation online. We miss everyone of you and look forward to meeting (safely!) in-person one day. 
Thank you, Cassie 
Pocket Prayer Shawls for the Synod Assembly
We have a great knitting and crocheting opportunity for youth and adults. The Bishop Election Committee (BEC) would like congregations to create mini pocket prayer shawls to guide the voting members in prayer and discernment as they select the new bishop.

They should measure approximately 6 inches by 3 inches and be given to the office by May 28.

The synod needs about 600 total and we would love for many of them to come from our congregation. While you create, pray for God’s blessings upon the recipient of your shawl and that they receive the gift of spiritual discernment. These mini shawls will be sent to the assembly participants.
 
Always wanted to learn to knit or crochet? Or get back into it? Carol and Stacy are here to help. Show up for our Zoom Community Craft Circle on Tuesday nights at 6 pm to work on a mini shawl, or on a project of your choice!

FLC Book Group - Join us in the FLC Book Group ZOOM meeting on June 8 at 4pm! We are discussing Anam Cara (A Book of Celtic Wisdom) by John O’Donohue. We have been meeting for 4 years and our members come and go.  Consider it a commitment only when it works in your schedule.  (i.e., join during summers or pandemics or vacations!). New members always welcome.  For more info, Contact Colleen 530 368-7315 and/or Carol (office).  She is happy to help you set up zoom via computer of cell phone. A summary of our books read and suggestions is available on FLC website.
A reminder that all in-person church activities are suspended until further notice. BUT, check out the Faith Fellowship groups that are starting up on-line (see below). They are a GREAT way to stay connected, and encouraged!
 
And, the church campus is still closed at this time and we very much appreciate your cooperation in not going in our buildings. We are doing our best to stay healthy and social distanced in this difficult time.
FAITH FELLOWSHIP ZOOM GROUPS

Pastor, Janine, Carol and their team of people have provided a beautiful worship experience each week.  Many look forward to both the video service and the Zoom opportunity to participate in Holy Communion.  It is such a blessing.

We are so excited to participate in worship, prayers and communion, but equally thrilled to have a moment of fellowship connection.  

So, we are considering ways to increase our opportunities for group fellowship. We are contemplating having a few Zoom dates and times throughout the week for us to connect with others.  The Zoom time would be filled with checking in with each other, sharing joys and sorrows and asking if prayers are needed for anyone.

In order to make this work, we will need to know the following:
  1. Contact Ann Linkugel (ablinkugel@yahoo.com) (call or text 530 906-4213 or home 530-637-5513) if you are interested in participating by Wednesday, May 20.
  2. Provide the days of the week and times you would be able to Zoom
  3. Whether or not you would be willing to be a group contact person (no leading involved)
If you have further questions about the fellowship aspects, contact Ann Linkugel. If you need to ask technical questions about Zoom, please contact Carol Davies.

Thanks
